COMMUNITY
HOUSE AT
EAST BURKE
The Splendid Gift of Elmer
A. Darling to His Na
tive Town
f
Tin? people of East Burke and vi
cinity have reason to he proud of the
community house which has recently
been opened and to which a most cor
dial invitation is extended to all to
visit any day of the week. The
building is the gilt ot Miner A. uai-

done so much and to the town
tu iiiu vuiiiiiiumt. ....-.
whnl'P
he was born and lias lived for so
many years since dosing out his
hotel interests in New York city.
A party of live recently visited the
home of the Burke Mt. Club as the
guests of the donor and we lco' .sulx'
our readers will be interested in a
description of this beautiful building.
The trip was made from St. Johns
"bury in one of the largest and newest
of the Packard cars, with Charles H.
Goss at the wheel, and the personneU
included a reporesentative of the Cal
edonia:!, Hon. Alexander Dunnett,
P. F. Hazen and Dr. George F. Chon-
The building is located on spacious
grounds in the village of East Iiurk'!
and is in the old Colonial style of
architecture. The plans were drawn
by Mr. Darling and elaborated by the
New York architects, Jardin, Hill 'i
Murdock. The building was con
structed by James M. Foye, the
well-known St. Johnshury contract.-r
and builder, and with him were as
sociated tho Cox brothers, St.
Johnsbury's best carpenters. Tho
building was over a year in con
struction and is now completed and
in constant use.
One enters the building from th"
street through a typical Colonial
doorway and after passing a small
passageway enters the first floor and
comes into' the main hall. On eii':n
side of the hall are two reading
rooms, each 19 by 20 feet, and us
attractive and cosy as any similar
rooms that one would find in the
largest libraries in the country. Tha
finish in these rooms, as well as
throughout the house, is of brown
ash stained in a peculiar soft greet
tint.. All the tables, chairs and equip
ment of both reading rooms, some of
which is of oak is finished to mate i,
making: a very harmonious and rest
ful effect. ' It is interesting to note
that tha wood in the building was
raised on Mr. Darling's farm and fin
ished at his sawmill at East Burke.
Doth of the reading rooms Jiavs
Messed brick fire places, surmounted
by clocks of the banjo pattern and in
one of the fireplaces is a beautiful
pair of hand wrought steel andirons
lhat came from the ancient city of
Nurenburg in Germany. This is tho
onlv pattern of these andirons in tho
United States and they are wonder
ful in workmanship and design.
'. Both of the reading rooms are well
stocked with books, magazines and
p'hpers, including many of the pop
ular novels, the classics, books of
reference, atlases and dictionaries. Ifl
these rooms as well as throughout
the house Ihe floors are all of hard
wood, many of them being covered
with Klear flax rugs.
; In the basement are two rooms of
equal size with the reading rooms
fpr sports and games. The southern
room contains a line pool table and
a-i inlaid checker and backgammon
bord. Around the room are colorH
prints of scenes from Dickens, lake
:'nd mountain scenes and plenty of
chairs for those who wish to watch
tho players. Another banjo pattern
clock is above the open fireplace.
Tho room opposite will be devoti. .1

EXTENSIVE
LUMBER
OPERATIONS
E'tenive lumbering ipoi aliens
will be started at once on the Joe's
Brook road in Burnet and it will be
three years before the work i com
pleted. The tract of land is situated
on ine Joe's Brook road west of
East Burnet village and includes tim
berland about a mile long and a h ?
a mile wi lc. Tho land is owned 'v
Prentiss Wild of East Barr.et ai d
includes iho Randall estate, tne
Morse lot and other pieces of wood
land. Porter & Lang havj the con
tract for getting out the lumber and
they have already started on their
contract. A portable mill will be "n
stallod and the trees nil sawed in'o
lumber to be used foi boxes and
planking. This is probably f'O larg
est lumber operation in this section
and the p'.ice of lumber today assuios
the owners of a ready market.
THE WORST ROAD THIS
AUTOIST FOUND. WAS
RAILROAD ST., ST. J.
An automobilist arriving in St.
Johnshury from Springfield was
asked: "Where did you strike the
worst roads?" "On Railroad
Street, St. Johnsbury!' ho re
plied. Unless the village trustees re
pair this street pretty quick they
will be liable for the wrecking
of a car in one of the big caverns
that now indent the street. .
It's a poor advertisement for
St. Johnsbury and poor business
for any town to allow Jts main
streets to become a menace not
only to autoists but to pedes
trians as well.

Heavy Freight Trains
On the Lake Road
Since midnight two long trains of
empty coal cars have traversed the
St. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
railroad and another train will be
smarted as soon as the train of emp
ties comes in from the north. Each
of these trains were drawn by three
engines and they will be joined ' at
Waldcn and run through to Odgens
burg via Swanton to the coal mines
a i one train. The first train left St,
Johnsbury at 1.50 Wednesday morn
ing and the second train left at 7.15.
One train had 46 cars and the other
45 and the second train attracted
much attention as it slowly wended
its way over the road.
This is one of the many attempts
of the traffic department of the Bos
ton & Maine railroad to relieve the
freight congestion which js growing
worse rather than better every day.
The increased business, the lifting
of embargoes, the shortage of cars
u:id engines, and last but not least
the shortage of train crews, all com
bine to make the most desperate sit
uation the traffic men of the country
have ever faced. ,
Extra freight trains are running
through St. Johnsbury in every direc
tion to relieve the congestion and it
will be at least a jnonth before con
ditions get back to normal. As an
indication of tho increased business
throughout the countiy it is interest
in? to note that in the second week
in May the number of cars delivered
to the-private sidings to St. Johns
bury industries and concerns in
creased 400 per cent over the same
period in 1919.
STRONG APPEAL
NOT TO FORGET

Capt. Cooper Reminds Audi

In Great War
A strong appeal to (he pub. e not
to forget the boys who fought in
I the World. War was made before a
j large audience at the Please L thea
ter Tusday night by Ctpt. Edwin H.
Cooper, oficial photographer of the
26th division. He gae his lecture
on the Great War under the auspices
of V. R. Knapp Post, No.v8, Ameri
can Legion.
(Cant. Cuoper was ve. y .i ccciuiy de

He h.nd that lor a long time the I e
gion had wanted to show the home
folks some of the scenes that, the boys
had taken part in "over there." Capt.
Cooper showed some of the battle
scenes that were those in wh'ch
Commander ol'well took part in tnis

Capt. Cooper proved a pleasing
speaker a'id witliout recourse .o elo

the fireat War as it was actually

motion pictures and of which t le

Capt. Cooper said his object in
giving his lecture was to recall to the
